89447 2006-07-24 | Point Source(s): St. Rose Flare Pollutant(s):Benzene - 0 pounds Carbon Monoxide - 14 pounds Nitrogen Oxide - 3 pounds Particulate Matter - 1 pounds Sulfur Dioxide - 2 pounds Toluene - 0 pounds Volatile Organic Compounds - 11 pounds Xylene - 0 pounds n-Hexane - 1 pounds | Cause of Problem: Power Failure Unexpected failure of Entergy power supply resulting in flaring material from the crude column overhead system | Improvements to power supply are current project |
No Information Given 2006-07-02 | Point Source(s): St. Rose Flare Pollutant(s):1,3-Butadiene - 0 pounds Benzene - 0 pounds Carbon Monoxide - 48 pounds Ethylbenzene - 0 pounds Hexane - 0 pounds Nitrogen Oxide - 9 pounds Particulate Matter - 2 pounds Toluene - 0 pounds Volatile Organic Compounds - 7 pounds Xylene - 0 pounds | Cause of Problem: Power Failure Electrical power dip which led to a pump shutdown and causing the de-salter to overpressure resulting in a pressure relief valve opening up and material vented to the flare | Pump restarted. Improvements to power supply are current project |
88859 2006-06-24 | Point Source(s): St. Rose Flare Pollutant(s):Carbon Monoxide - 1 pounds Nitrogen Oxide - 0 pounds Particulate Matter - 0 pounds Volatile Organic Compounds - 0 pounds | Cause of Problem: Power Failure Unexpected failure of the Entergy power supply which resulted in the shutdown of the K-8508 compressor. When the compressor shut down, material was automaticallydiverted to flare | Unit was depressured until the power was restored. Improvement in the St. Rose electrical supply are subject of a current project. |
87325 2006-04-21 | Point Source(s): St. Rose Flare Pollutant(s):Volatile Organic Compounds - 63 pounds | Cause of Problem: Weather The flare pilot was extinguished by a strong thunderstorm | Due to unexpecte equipment failure. The pilot was designed to withstand inclement weather conditions.An investigation will be conducted on the flare tip & pilot to understand why it went out. St. Rose flare is 200 feet tall. |
85779 2006-02-12 | Point Source(s): GO-1 Elevated Flare Pollutant(s):Carbon Monoxide - 22 pounds Hexane - 3 pounds Nitrogen Dioxide - 37 pounds Particulate Matter - 7 pounds Sulfur Dioxide - 1,587 pounds Volatile Organic Compounds - 8 pounds | Cause of Problem: Other In order to control the differential pressure, untreated dry gas was sent to the fuel gas system and the remaining amount was flared. | Incident involving the DEA treatment system is the subject of an ongoing investigation. Corrective actions will be implemented. |
